Many people have good questions about Jesus being the exclusive way to God. For example: In our complicated, interconnected & pluralistic modern world, is it right to see Jesus as the only way to God? Why can’t God just welcome sincere people who seek him from any point of view or religious system? Isn’t it arrogant to say that one religion is right over another?

A common question in suffering is, "Why" But, to whom or what are we directing the question? After briefly exploring responses from various belief systems, Mike leads us in considering the unique response of hope and meaning found in the Christian worldview.

In this talk, Amy speaks about the concern that Christianity’s outdated approach to life is viewed as harmful and oppressive, particularly for Women. Is this true? Or does Jesus & those that follow him promote an equality and peace that benefits individuals and society?

We encounter Jesus after he has been resurrected from the dead. In this talk, Julia considers the significance of the Easter story: Jesus has defeated death, thus proving his claims true and providing an unshakeable, enduring hope for us in life.

We stand before Jesus as he hangs on the cross. In this talk, Viv considers the brutality of the ancient crucifixion practice, and what it highlights about the lengths God will go to offer us forgiveness. Because of the cross of Christ, we are welcomed in and forgiven.

We join Jesus as he moves closer to the culmination of his whole life’s purpose. We are heading towards the crucifixion. In this talk, Steve considers the first scene in this process: Jesus in the Garden, engaged in agonised and vulnerable prayer to His Father. It is a moment of profound suffering, as well as of great significance. We see Jesus as our substitute in this moment - taking on our suffering - as well as an example to us of how to remain faithful to God in suffering.

We join Jesus on the dusty road into Jericho as he meets a man named Zacchaeus. In this talk, Zeke looks at Luke 19:1-10 and shows through this story that Jesus’ plan is to seek, save and send us. Jesus calls us to come as we are, but doesn’t leave us as we are.

We join Jesus in this profound conversation with a Samaritan outcast. Looking at John 4:1-29, Rob explores how you can come to Jesus and be filled, so you can live out your God-given purpose. We are not designed to live from an empty cup.

We join Jesus in his wilderness moment. In his Gospel, Matthew describes a dramatic showdown between Jesus and a figure called ‘the devil.’ Mike opens our 6-week series, ‘Journeys with Jesus,’ by considering the importance of this contest - speaking of who the ‘devil’ is, the tests he deploys, and the significance of Jesus’ victory in the wilderness.

Guest Speaker Putty Putman teaches on our relationship with God and navigating this season and culture around us as we partner with him.
